Can I still download Access 2003 runtime?

We have this old Access app that REQUIRES the 2003 runtime and doesn't run correctly under 2007. The app can't be updated, either. So, we need to find a download of the 2003 runtime. Does anyone know where I can download an installer? Is it still legal to do that? I don't want to ask the EE community to break the law.

The Access runtime software and the royalty-free Access runtime license formerly shipped as part of a Microsoft Office Developer (MOD) product with earlier versions of Microsoft Office. For Access 2003, the Access runtime software is shipped with the Microsoft Office Access 2003 retail product, and the royalty-free Access runtime license is a component of the Access 2003 Developer Extensions. Even though the runtime software is included in the Microsoft Office Access 2003 retail product, the right to distribute the runtime is not included. You must purchase the Access 2003 Developer Extensions to obtain a royalty-free license to package and distribute the runtime.

"Even though the runtime software is included in the Microsoft Office Access 2003 retail product, the right to distribute the runtime is not included. You must purchase the Access 2003 Developer Extensions to obtain a royalty-free license to package and distribute the runtime."

So it is illegal to download it and then turn around and distribute it.

Aside from being illegal to use pirated software, you run the risk of installing virus' and all sorts of other evil malware. You can't trust people who steal. It is risky enough to install stolen software on your own computer but it is fiscally irresponsible to do it on a client's computer and could leave you with some serious liability if any damage is done. I understand your moral justification but I still wouldn't do it. Too much risk involved in dealing with unethical people and too much potential liability.
